Cracking of Tanks

[Romney]

Hi,i read on a e-liquid site that some e-liquids may crack your Tank.Fruit flavours or Spice flavours being the worst.I have just bought Cinnamon e-liquid and have a Jac Vapour Nova Tank,could someone tell me if its safe enough for me to use the Cinnamon,without me having bother cracking my Tank.

It may not be! Is the Jac Vapor Nova the same as a Vivi Nova? If so you can buy a metal tank for them for a couple of pounds

I don't have any experience of that juice or that tank, but everything else I had from Jac Vapour hasn't been of the best quality.

Hang around maybe somebody has had the combo you have and can point you right.

I usually throw any juice like that into an old tank and see what happens, I wouldn't test it on your good tank.

Ditto thats what i do Raid

I use cinnamon all the time. In fact, I'm just cleaning a mini nova that's been sat in my box for 2 months full of cinnamon juice.

I can't say if JacVapour use the same plastic tanks as Vision. Then again, I make citrus homemade liquid (at strong flavour) and just chuck it in.

One day, I'll get caught out. I wouldn't let it stop me. If it happens, I need a £2.50 tank... ???

Its not so much the tank cracking that causes me concern, it's the fact it's degrading the plastics and those plastic molecules are making there way into your juice and your inhaling them, plastic isn't the nicest thing to be inhaling.

True I guess.

I'm going all glass anyway, it's just going to take some time.

Fair point.  But, still better than all the nasties in tobacco

Well yeah, i am unsure about the exact properties of polypropylene etc but some plastics can release dioxin when burnt, which could occur if tiny pieces of plastic leach into the juice etc etc, so best safe to avoid i am slowly upgrading all my tanks to glass and keeping the plastics in backup status.

Don't write off plastics altogether.

Quite a few manufacturers are moving onto acrylic rather than polycarb.
Doesn't smash if you drop it, and seems for more resilient against cracking from juices.

Just for info.

Is the evod, plastic, metal a bit of both or something completely different?

[dinamic22]

Its a metal outer with plastic inside Sammy13.

A lot of your plastic tanks will be alright with many juices, most of my juices are potential tank crackers though.
